Thanks for thinking of us, Adrian. We just got home. Mir-Mir is still a
bit woozy, but she came through it with flying colours. My scales
weren't very accurate; on the vet's scales she weighed 2.3 kg, so close
to their limit, and she's healthy otherwise, so there were no problems.
The vet there has studied in the US, and is familiar with their early
spay practices there, so she had no qualms about doing it now. They put
in dissolving stitches, so Miranda doesn't have to go back unless the
incision gets infected.

Poor little Miranda was terrified the whole way there. I could feel the
whole carrier shaking because she was shaking so much. Well, at least
she didn't say one peep the whole way there, or back for that matter.
That's a relief. It's enough with one 'singer' in the family.

Oops. I'm afraid the patient just ate a bug off the floor.
